Description of problem: I have an nVidia GeForce MX 4000 (PCI) video card. Anaconda detects the video card as a Trident Microsystems Cyberblade i/1. This is incorrect. It is possible that it is somehow finding the onboard card, which is not disableable in BIOS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a nVidia GeForce MX 4000 video card into your PC. 2. Insert FC6 T3 CD1 into CD drive. 3. Boot into install. 4. Press ENTER to start standard graphical install. 5. Note that the card is not functional, and you are instructed to use either the Text-Only install or VNC. Actual results: Graphical install unavailable. Expected results: Standard graphical install. Additional info:
If I start the install with "linux vesa" it seems to allow me to do the graphical install.
After the install, can you run 'kudzu -p -c VIDEO' and provide the output?

I have just installed FC6 test3 on a spare partition, alongside FC5. Installation went smoothly but on rebooting I just got a notice on the monitor "Unsupported video mode". I mounted the FC6 partition in FC5 and looked at the xorg.conf file, which seemed not to have anything related to my monitor, so I copied the equivalent file from the FC5 installation. Now FC6 works as expected. I have a Geritec 568 lcd monitor and NVidia G-Force FX 5900XT video card. At present I'm using the nv driver. FC5 installation went correctly and detected both.
